Album Review: Various - Wish I Was Here Soundtrack

"Zach Braff captures the zeitgeist running through his new slice of cinematic pie, Wish I Was Here."

Just like he did with the music accompanying his directorial debut, 2004’s Garden State, Zach Braff captures the zeitgeist running through his new slice of cinematic pie, Wish I Was Here. The care that Braff has taken in curating this record is palpable – established pieces of perfection (Bon Iver’s Holocene, Paul Simon’s The Obvious Child) sit comfortably with new songs from The Shins, Cat Power & Coldplay and The Head & The Heart – and the flowing motif that plays out leaves you lingering on treasured memories, staring blindly through the present crossroads of your life.
